I shock mounted my panel with some very simple (read cheap) shock mounts. See http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/flesner/brakes1.jpg The wood blocks in the upper left are two of the five that the panel mounts to. They are epoxied to the bottom side of the forward deck. The holes are "tapper" drilled from both sides to accept rubber corks from the hardware store. The corks are cut to size so that they extend approx 1/4" beyond each side of the block when compressed. They have a hole drilled through the center to accept the #10 flathead bolts that secures the panel. As always, your results may vary. :-) Larry Flesner
